Alone in the dark
No sound bar my slow breaths
Slow to keep calm
Toes cracking against the bed
Fingers raking through my hair
Scratching my scalp.
Not working.
Pain, anger and sadness
Creeping into my chest
I feel it there like a cyst.
Filling my chest, pressing against my sternum
Trying to ignore this pressure.
Close to exploding.
Sleep come and embrace me into your dark sweet abyss.
